"When I last saw him he had dark hair and moustache," said May.
"Well a moustache is easily shaved off, and hair can be as easily dyed," said Reg.
"I suppose nobody noticed his hands, for he has a white scar on the fore-finger of his right hand, plainly visible," said Mrs. Montague.
"Why, I noticed that only yesterday on Philamore's hand," said Goody.
"Then it is he," said Reg, excited. "Now how are we to get at him?"
"Leave that to me, old chap," answered Hal. "You've got your die ready; you shall be executioner, I will bring him to the block."
"You are not really going to brand him?" put in Mrs. Montague.
"I am, indeed."
"Well, I can't say he does not deserve it," she added, stopped from further remark by Reg's determined face.
"Well, it is understood that we all meet this afternoon at Government House," said Hal. "We will now adjourn the meeting."
